Hello All,

A COMP won’t do anything for pitch but it may help you hear more clearly if you are monitoring the FX while you sing. If you use it live this will help you keep the monitor level down so you can hear your own voice in the mix clearly & concentrate on finding your pitches. Same in the studio but of course you can listen to your recording, say something like “AAAAAARRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!” & then try it again………..

Hello,
I’m very much afraid that no matter what kind of looper EHX were to make there would be complaints. Either it’s too complicated with way too much record time or it doesn’t have the features a true looper-ist needs. I think the 2880 is great as it is & perhaps EHX personnel will take the hints from these forums & continue to shape & mold it until the entire looping loopy world is happy. Oh, that’ll be the day hell freezes over & I become the first Pope to marry Heather Graham. Yep, that will be a good day…….

Hello,

I have the same problem with my pedal & it is the old box enclosure. However, mine is distorting no matter what setting or voice I use. The Square slider does still make a difference, but only in degree.

Also, shotgun, how much is your MOD?

Hello All,

I own the Vintage Tube Overdrive by Behringer as well as the Spectrum Enhancer & one of the mixers & assorted other gadgets. I also own the EHX English Muffin mainly because i wanted to continue experimenting with tube pedals & I’ve owned EHX pedals for over 20 years. I love my EHX EM & it has far more variety than the Behringer VT999 pedal, but I’ll still keep it. I really don’t think Behringer should be the reviever of such criticism as in it’s all junk or cheap gear. There’s nothing wrong with inexpensive.

Hello All,
I just wanted to add a note to this idea which I think is a good one. Reminds me of the patch sheets that KEYBOARD magazine used to do. I got all my best CZ sounds that way. Anyway, my add to this is that I’ve found the HOG is EXTREMEMLY dependent on the sounds it gets. When I first got the thing, I couldn’t for the life of me get anything that sounded in any way usable. So, I used my standard well thought out SOP & simply gave up for the evening & went on to something else. The next day I was working on a completely different set-up for my guitar & just off the cuff decided to run it through the HOG to see what would happen. After a couple of minor tweeks I had almost the sound I was going for the previous evening. Ever since then I start with my guitar sound & then try the HOG to see the result. So, a helpful bit on the HOG patch sheet would be an additional area for pickup settings, FX before the HOG, etc. Because the HOG has several filters, I now think of it as a very versital “Colour/Tone” FX rather than a straight synth. The HOG is a much more dynamic gadget than I first realized when I saw some of the videos. It’s amazing & one of the best pieces of gear in my FX arsenal.

Well, I highly recommend the Slicer, it’s without a doubt for me the best Boss pedal I’ve ever used. It also has MIDI SYNC which for me has worked great. I’ve recorded a lot of parts on previous projects & not had a single problem although I do find giving it a few measures to sync up works best. I agree that it world be nice if an EHX Brainiac would address the glitch problem on the SMM. I hope this gives enough of a hint……….
